Map of Ireland

Module:Location map/data/island of Ireland is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of island of Ireland. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

Usage

These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "island of Ireland":

• {{Location map|island of Ireland |...}}
• {{Location map many|island of Ireland |...}}
• {{Location map+|island of Ireland |...}}
• {{Location map~|island of Ireland |...}}

Map definition

• name = island of Ireland

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Island of Ireland location map.svg

  The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"

• image1 = Island of Ireland relief location map.png

  An alternative map image, usually a relief map, which can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters

• top = 55.6

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 51.2

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = -11

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = -5

  Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}}, and {{Location map+}} templates have parameters to specify an alternative map image. The map displayed as image1 can be used with the relief or AlternativeMap parameters. Examples may be found below or in the following:

• Template:Location map#Relief parameter
• Template:Location map+/relief
• Template:Location map#AlternativeMap parameter
• Template:Location map+/AlternativeMap

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 6 degrees.

• At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.03 degrees per pixel.
• At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.006 degrees per pixel.

Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 4.4 degrees.

• At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.022 degrees per pixel.
• At an image height of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0044 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

Dublin

Belfast

class=notpageimage|

Two locations in Ireland

{{Location map many | Island of Ireland
| relief   = yes
| width    = 200
| caption  = Two locations in Ireland
| lat1_deg = 53.35
| lon1_deg = -6.26
| label1   = Dublin
| lat2_deg = 54.6
